Characteristics of flood evolution in karst area based on underlying surface structure
To investigate the characteristics of flood evolution in karst area under different underlying surface structure,based on the rainfall data of Guizhou Province from 1980 to 2020,a Z-index of precipitation was calculated,and the underlying surface structure of Guizhou Province was divided by using the systematic clustering method.The spatial and temporal evolution character-istics of flood and waterlogging were analyzed,and the dominant influencing factors of the underlying surface were discussed.The results showed that:① The underlying surface of Guizhou Province can be divided into deep-cutting karst strong development valley area,shallow-cutting karst medium development valley area,deep-cutting non-karst depression area,and shallow-cut-ting karst strong development valley area.② The flood in Guizhou Province showed a trend of more waterlogging from 1980 to 2020,with large floods occurring more;the spatial distribution pattern of the Z-index was high in the southeast and low in the northwest,with more large floods and severe floods,but the spatial distribution characteristics of the subregions were different.③The influence of each underlying surface condition on the flood was sequenced as topography and landform>karst development in-tensity>surface cutting depth.All levels of flood showed probabilistic transfer under different underlying surface structures,and the transfer phenomenon was active.The results of the study can provide a scientific basis for flood prevention and disaster mitiga-tion in karst basins.
